In recent months, concern over the possibility of heterosexual transmission of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related-retrovirus (ARV) infection has increased.^1,2A possible chain of transmission for ARV infection from homosexual men to women would be through bisexual men. The potential for such transmission can be estimated from data available from the San Francisco Men's Health Study, a prospective study of the epidemiology and natural history of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (supported by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases contract NO1-A1-32519).³Because the cohort is a probability sample, inferences can be extended to the entire population of single men in the study area. Of the 1,035 men aged 25 to 54 years in the cohort, 169 (16.3%) classified themselves as bisexual and 108 of them reported one or more female sexual partners during the previous two years. Table 1 indicates that 146 women were potentially

To the Editor.—

The San Francisco Men's Health Study is a prospective study of a population-based random sample of single men 25 to 54 years of age residing in the 19 census tracts of San Francisco with the highest incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). One thousand thirty-five eligible men were recruited. Participants visit the study clinic at six-month intervals, where they undergo a detailed medical and life-style interview and physical examination and provide specimens for laboratorystudy. Serological testing for AIDS-associated retrovirus (ARV) is performed on the cohort using the indirect fluorescent antibody technique.^1,2 Between June 1984 and January 1985 at the time of the first clinic visit, 214 exclusively heterosexual men were found to be uniformly seronegative for antibodies to ARV and will not be considered further in this communication. At that time, the overall seropositivity rate for the remaining 821 homosexual and/or bisexual men was 48.4%.

HIV infection in homosexual and bisexual men 18 to 29 years of age: the San Francisco Young Men's Health Study.

American Journal of Public Health (1994)

Dennis Osmond Kimberly Page James Wiley Kristine Garrett Haynes W. Sheppard

OBJECTIVES. Recent studies suggest very high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection rates in some populations of younger homosexual men, but these studies may represent only particularly high-risk populations. The current study obtained population-based data on the HIV epidemic in young homosexual/bisexual men. METHODS. A household survey of unmarried men 18 through 29 years of age involved a multistage probability sample of addresses in San Francisco. A follow-up interview and HIV test for men who were HIV negative at baseline were completed; the median follow-up was 8.9 months. RESULTS. Sixty-eight of 380 homosexual/bisexual men (17.9%) tested HIV seropositive. Sixty-three percent of men reported one or more receptive anal intercourse partners in the previous 12 months, and 41% of those men did not use condoms consistently. The HIV seroincidence rate among those seronegative at first study was 2.6% per year. CONCLUSIONS. HIV infection rates in young homosexual men in San Francisco are lower than those in the early 1980s; however, the rate of infection in these men, most of whom became sexually active after awareness of AIDS had become widespread, threatens to continue the epidemic in the younger generation at a level not far below that of a decade ago.

Effect of New AIDS Case Definition on Numbers of Cases Among Homosexual and Bisexual Men in San Francisco

JAMA (1991)

Warren Winkelstein

To the Editor.

—On January 1,1992, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is expected to propose that a CD4⁺T-lymphocyte cell count of 200 × 10⁶cells/L or less in a person seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), in the absence of other clinical findings, be added to the list of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining conditions. Some of the consequences of this action can be estimated from data collected in the San Francisco (Calif) Men's Health Study and the San Francisco General Hospital Cohort. These cohorts comprise approximately 1250 homosexual and bisexual men recruited in 1983 and 1984 by a combination of sampling and volunteer procedures. Both cohorts have been examined regularly since recruitment and CD4⁺T-lymphocyte counts have been determined at each examination. By the end of 1990,271 cases of AIDS meeting the 1987 criteria defined by the CDC had been diagnosed. If the proposed
